As the clerk handed Harry her armour she would offer him and approximation of a smile as she replied "thanks, you too" before walking away. Moving behind some racking that would offer her a modicum of privacy she would change into her armour before walking back out onto the hangar dec for what would probably be another long and boring shift if the rest of her day was anything to go by.

 Meari walked up to the QM lockers , she smiled and said," I think my armor is in need of repair." She carefully placed her riddled armor down for inspection."

 the  QM  clerk was  frazzled  as   armor and weapons were comign back...she  only hand one arm to use, as the other was in a sling.

 Pick out a crate, but your items   in and  fill out the tag on the  crate.... make sure you don't mess it up, or you'll have the  9 hell's of a time getting suited up for next time!

 there were people in line behind her, and people in line infront. of the conveyer belt.

 Meari nods and replied,Thank you much Meari then carefully got a crate marked it correctly, double checked it, then when it was her turn she placed the crate on the belt and headed to the Hanger Dec too see if she could find Vaka, or the Hemdeil troopers to see how they did.

Zob needed a new suit of heavy armor after the last one was completely destroyed in the last major engagement so he approached the cage, "I need to get fitted for a new suit of heavy boarding armor, i was outgrowing my old suit and obviously it got destroyed in the last engagement"

  The Clerk looked up and Zob and Punched in his  history...Comon  back and let the chief scan your measurements , make sure  they haven't  changed, and   She'll let you know what they  can do.

Zob nodded and came on back to where the chief was waiting to get scanned, "Yeah by the time we left the hive ship, i was practically wearing just my clothes it was that beat up" he awkwardly chuckled the armor did a fantastic job of holding up but when hundreds of troopers are focusing fire in your direction well you ain't dodging them all.

  The  Chief armorer   had   Zob  stand   as she ran the scanner over him.....Your Thighs  are  bigger... Football must agree with you

 ...Now?...  if we go into Matterhorn Space, we'll be facing , mostly  Empire troops, that means you'll face, mostly pulse  weapons, By the lizards have  hard  Ammo and the Bugs started to make it  as well.....we encounter Earth forces, it will depend on the Commanders... Deltas fleet, everyone uses  what they want except  fore specialists like  grenade launchers  and HW .... so you might face more hard ammo. We  can  put   spray insulation in between the
 inside and outside  plates to help slow down some  rounds.. depends how good the weapon or shooter is... It will make the  armor hotter  when you are  in warm and temperate  Conflict
 Areas.  You want that? or not?

Zob nodded, "Its why i wear the environmental suit underneath to help prevent overheating and keep the body cool, and on top of that the heat never really bothered me i grew up on a hot arid planet after all, so yes add the spray insulation i can take it"

   She nodded  and  tapped away on her  Vid  Board, spinning the  'model' of Zob around on the screen,

  we should have  it  done, before Cast  off  from Etna... Hopefully you won't need it on Etna!

Zob sighed a bit he had his demon steel boarding armor but he only wanted to use it if there was no other option, "I do have a back up just in case... but me trotting around in a reinforced demon steel armor is bound to turn heads for the wrong reasons"

 She Chuckled,....Like i said,  we should have  it  ready by cast off from Etna. If  we need you suited up  thgere.. we'rte in more trouble then i'd like to think.

Zob laughed, "Ill be suited up... but just a lot more... fancy, but for real thanks will see you around" Zob then set out to the Rec Dec to join with the others.

Tulliun walks into the room and looks about for who he needs to talk to he spots the clerk.

Hello there! Sgt Meari and Scarlett suggested I come get some hard ammo for just in case. Can you help me out?

  The  Clerk  ( PO1) loked at Tulliun as he approached the Cage.  She  spoun a Vid board around,....Sign in, and tell me what you are lookign for, and  we'll see what we have, and get the QM  to  clear it...

He smiles at her, reaches over and signs the board.

I've got a standard issue ESN sidearm and a SMG that takes 5.7x28 mm rounds. I need enough for in case, with the jump off. I want to be ready in case I'm on ship when it all goes off.

   She  looked over the Board  and  Tapped out the information, ringing a buzzer  in the back. She looked at his  'unifrom' and said.

  Right , Now.. we han give  you  4 Mags for each weapon.  if you have  quarters on the ship, yopu are permitted  one short arm, and one long arm, no explosioves ... should you have  an additional weapon, you will have to stroe it here, or onboard your aircraft...yopu also must have a bootknife of  some kind.

He self-consciously tucks in his shirt, Well, that works well. I've only got those two and this dagger here. I keep the SMG in the shuttle and the pistol on me. So we're square there. Do you think I'd be amiss keeping a load of pulse for each weapon as well as the 4 magazines?

It was clear that this woman was not up for any small talk. So, he maintained a polite professionalism in his demeanor and tone, but still smiled to show he was still amicable.

I'm new to this "bugs and lizards preparedness" thing.

 again her eyes  looked over  his 'uniform'.....yes?  I am , most certain, you haven't  had to prepare  for what we're going into....

  The Pulse weapons  is a  different  thing...  If you have a  pure   pulse weapon, you have   ammo as long as the Cell lasts, and you can recharge it  with a  suncharger, or plug it in.... If you want encapsulated  rounds,  they are boxed  or belted like any other  ammo, but? you do reload, and 'run out" I can give you a Mag or two of  encapsulated   rounds  for your weapons...but...two things.... 1.... your weapon gets  hit, those  pulse  rounds  go off  like  mini pulse  bombs.... and 2? you cannot  mix or match, you have to use one or the  other, and  any one time...you try  having   half  you mag with  hard ammo, and half  Pulse..you'll at least be  missing arms...

His eyes got a little wide at the warning the PO gave him.

Maybe I should stick with hard ammo, just to be safe.

He looks down at his clothes, trying to figure out what else is wrong with his uniform.

   another  Seaman came  up with   some mags, of  hard Ammo...There you go.., but ,,well..make sure  you listen to pregame, if you get put into this  Jump off...The Admiral uses   anyone  and  everything, to  pull out a  victory...

Tulliun takes the mags from the Seaman, and deposits them in his pouches. Thanks! I'll make sure I catch it. Have a good one.

He waved to each of them, with a smile as he turned to head out to the Hanger Dec.

 Meari walks up to the QM locker and asks," I need a machine gun with stopping power I can handle wielding on my own, large amount of easily carried ammo works as well.  Is there something you can fix me up with for these lizards and bugs?"

  The Clerk shrugs....heavy pulse?.. almost unlimited ammo...but it doesn't seem to have the stopping power...Hard  ammo has  stopping power , but when you run out? all you have is a big club?
